Aliens caused Sicily fires, say officials

Brilliant satire!

If you notice, this press release is about something which occured 3 years ago. Since then, (if you read the article) there were dozens of experts brought in. The investigation cost an estimated 1 million euros which is equal to approx 1.35 million US dollars.

So we can rule out illegal immigranats using the wrong voltage adapters.

Satan I won't even comment on. I have ruled him out and his compadre Santa Claus.

Solar Flares being responsible for such highly localized events makes little sense to me.

Next look at the power of these electro magnetic emissions. On the order of 12-15 gigawatts. I'm no electrical engineer but I would side with the report in that men cannot produce EMPs of that power. I don't even think that detonating a nuclear warhead would produce that amount of electromagnetic radiation.

So the answer lies in 2 possible categories.

1) Aliens.

2) Another "supernatural phenomena" which is actually natural but we call it supernatural since we don't have a good grasp of it.

The Z machine discharges 290 terawatts in one pulse. While it is somewhat of an unique device, it is man made.

The problem I have with the article is it provides absolutely no facts or evidence. How do they know there were electro magnetic emissions on the order of 12-15 gigawatts? What did they use to test it? Why did they not attempt to locate the source? I'd imagine it would be relatively easy to triangulate the source of emissions that powerful. How long did the phenomena last and was it continuous or intermittent?

The article is also flawed in that it claims that Italian government had concluded that it was "aliens", then at the end of the article they quote somebody stating that it was not a final report. I think a lot has been misinterpreted and a lot has been misrepresented so without the facts it's not possible to verify this as anything but sensationalist gossip.

First, it's the Telegraph. It's not a science magazine. It's only there to give a layman's view on what's going on.

and next, I agree that it may be a bit of a stretch to confirm that it was alien in origin, but if the government is willing to acknowledge the alien possibility as a viable option, then they must believe that aliens exist and are currently visiting the Earth. The next reasonable question is why do they believe that aliens are visiting Earth? They must have pre-existing evidence that would allow this option as a viable one.

I dont know why this story is coming out now as "news". I was in sicily more than two years ago, and the original story goes that something is causing household appliances to blow up or start burning - especially TVs, Radios and Fridges. This has apparently been going on since more than 5 years and has been reported in nearly every european paranormal and UFO-magazine on the market.

It is still undecided what is causing the spontaneous burnings and military or ET/Paranormal origins are not ruled out by the authorities.

It doesn't have to give an in depth technical explanation, but it does need to present some facts if it wishes to be given any credibility.

cover_meat-

I was wondering the same thing? Pretty vague. I think we are all in agreement.

The Z machine is a marvel. According to Wiki it can produce pulse that is 80x the entire power output of the world. Definitely shows you the difference between continues power and max power. Similiar to buying speakers/amps for your sound system.. never look at max power- continuous is the only one that counts.

Anyways, lets suppose they could build a portable less powerful Z machine. Why test it in Sicily? As far as I know they do EMP testing is performed at the Nellis / Nevada test site (which is also remote and makes more sense than Sicily?)

I don't think aliens are testing anything but what do I know? If these events are by-products of some alien technology then why aren't these effects showing up elsewhere? UFOs are spotted all over the world.

unfortunately were not going to see any facts. please forgive me if this falls in the "tin foil hat" zone but, maybe they have gotten to a point where they cane generate more power from haarp and for some reason are planning to one day zap all of our appliances in a attempt to cause mass panic. it doesnt say how the electric grid reacted during this time? if it doesnt than that could be a way of trying to throw off assumptions. but as for aliens...aliens most likely are like us and still trying to find new ways to make there journeys to earth. this could be why there is no invasion coming any time soon even though they can travel here doesnt mean it doesnt take alot of energy that they just dont have. so top secret alien spacecraft prototype that traveled here using a new type of propulsion that they havent used before. or haarp. or a directed EMP weapon being tested commonly nearby. or geological plates with large amounts of metal moving against each other below the area. any number of things....

Perhaps after all the years, the former inhabitants of the earth are still relying on some form of electricity to power their crafts. They must have cme to do a survey on how much longer before earth's current inhabitants kill themselves off, realized that the 10 million light year batteries weren't recharged fully, and had to tap into this Italian town's electrical supplies to get back home. The only casulty was a few thousand household appliances. Case solved.

ok, for the sake of argument, lets just say it was aliens. anyone consider that maybe htey didnt intentionally fry the grid in sicilly but rather that their crafts propulsion system creates an EM field that when brought in contact with an existing power grid it overloads said grid just as a byproduct of their using their ship?

thats reaching i know but as we dont know for sure aliens exist, or that if they do that they are visiting us, and if they are visiting us whether they are benevolent or malevolent, they may be screwing up our stuff simply by accident rather than intent?

dunno, interesting none the less

I don't know about the credibility of this source and yes they do state that it is leaked information. They don't say that the leaked information is false. That said, I agree with the previous poster if it was aliens it was likely an accident/mistake. Or like others have said gov't weapon testing. If so, the news about it would be disinfo and would explain why aliens were blamed. In my opinion, this is a mistake by someone. Whether it was aliens or government I don't think that either would purposely do this. From most reports aliens try to stay hidden and the governments want top secret weapons to stay secret. The final report needs to be seen so we have evidence that it was aliens or otherwise. If it is not aliens I doubt we will see a report that says "oops the secret gov't weapon misfired and damaged your $&#$, call 555-555-BS to make a claim." I doubt if it was aliens they would say "aliens destroyed your #&#$ and we can't protect you, call 555-555-BS to make a claim." I haven't heard of this before and that speaks volumes. Its likely that besides witnesses not many have heard of this. Powers that be didn't want this to get out and it leaked.

Also, sorry going off topic but coincedently I told my wife about this and a light went off in her head and she told me that at her parents house today her father was reheating green beans on a paper plate and the beans starting sparking and set on fire!!!!!!! ROFL

All I know about this really is the fact that on the morning news on the radio on the way to work yesterday morning, the officials in the area are still maintaining that it was the work of aliens. The only other theory they have is there is advanced weapon testing going on in the area and the general public just hasn't been notified.

With an estimated 100 million GALAXIES in this universe, there are
likely tens of thousands of species traveling space, time, dimensions,
etc..

If one of them developed some type of technical difficulty and had to
set down on Earth to do a repair, it's possible that the technical problem
could generate pulses that would disturb items near the landing site.

What concerns me is what would happen if one of those species is
inherently deadly (to humans) in its biological makup. What is natural
to them could be a deadly virus to humankind. Hopefully God has made
every intelligent life-form "safe" for interacting with every other life form
on a biological level. -cwm

You left out the obvious reason.

Darling it's the silly season.

It's an effect produced by the deep space traveling ships entering earth by the tall whites. For clues check the dates and the orbital position of the earth and the moon.

By the way aliens don't exist. There are no aliens visiting us and alien spaceships don't exist.

Personally i think it was the Alien-o Mafia Family.

These people were behind on protection payments so they got a visit from the collectors, and after they refused to pay they fried their electricals mwahaha.

For all people doubting the credibility of the source:

Ive BEEN to sicily and these stories (of appliances spontaneously burning) are common knowledge all over the alternative-press, the normal press and the officials. They havent decided on a final explanation yet, but the truth of these happenings are well established SINCE YEARS. Its not only the Telegraph reporting about it. In fact, the Telegraph is a few years too late in reporting about it.

Guys, look up Scalar Wave Technology!

Could be the mafia developing certain Ground Wave Emergency Networks.

Maybe Don Corleone found a way to put demons on the payroll.

I think yer right...but im afraid theres some very disturbing connotations to the kind of effex that were documented....and be they related to very strong magnetic fields or other causes i can think of....HAARP, maybe,
certainly there are vortices of immense power eddying arund the world as leftovers from Abomb blasts etc....
Also this could be a good reason for the UFO activity nearby.....
Magnetism, and gravity being relatives,perhaps A Grav may produce magnetic effects of strong enough proportions....
I do know that a magnetometer is affected by UFO activity......
Then theres the usual effects of UFO proximity.(stalled motors.dead batteries etc...)
The excitation effect seems opposite to the norm.....?
